The antonymy in my work is a fantasy. Everything has its opposite. Strength manifests itself in weakness, beauty in ugliness. And the boundary that limits the transition often becomes invisible. A new image is born.
The work is built on contrasts. The contrast is tactile and visual as well as emotional.
The beauty of the human body is a powerful magnet, evoking a variety of feelings and emotions. Nudity can be defenseless and powerful at the same time. The smoothness of gentle curves, strong honed shapes, color, angle of inclination cause a storm of conscious and uncontrollable impulses.
I continue to explore my interest in nature beyond this space. I try to allow the painting to create itself, to create the conditions in which it will grow, to become something. I don't build the painting brick by brick like you would build a brick wall, I more create the conditions and let things happen and suddenly they do.
So I rely a lot on the nature of the materials I use, so sometimes it's really an exploration, like you go into a space you've never been in before and discover things you didn't know existed.

Natalya Pravda is a contemporary Ukrainian artist whose creative journey is marked by a relentless exploration of diverse techniques and source materials. Her artistic vision encompasses a wide spectrum of imagery, ranging from the abstract to the figurative, often interwoven with subtle or explicit references. Despite the potential for interpretation, Natalya advocates for an open-ended approach to experiencing her art, emphasizing the boundless nature of human perception.

Central to Natalya's practice is a profound engagement with the purity of color and its dynamic interplay with the canvas. Through her works, she seeks to articulate moments of quiet revelation, inviting viewers into a realm where meaning unfolds organically.

For Natalya, the act of creation transcends mere craftsmanship; it is a process of nurturing and facilitating emergence. Rather than constructing her pieces methodically, she fosters an environment where spontaneity reigns, allowing the artwork to evolve autonomously.

Drawing inspiration from the inherent qualities of her chosen materials, Natalya's artistic journey is characterized by continual discovery. Each encounter with pigment and canvas becomes a voyage into uncharted territory, yielding unexpected revelations and enriching her practice.

The essence of Natalya's creative process lies in embracing uncertainty and relinquishing the impulse for formulaic repetition. Instead, she embraces improvisation as a catalyst for innovation, tempered by the wisdom gained through cumulative experience.

In Natalya's world, creativity thrives on the element of surprise, defying attempts at prediction or control. It is a dynamic interplay between intuition and action, where readiness to seize the moment is paramount.

Through her art, Natalya Pravda invites audiences to embark on a journey of exploration, where the boundaries between creator and creation blur, and the joy of discovery awaits at every turn.
